Pauline, I appreciate your thoughts in that. However, as I care very much about obedience and follow those who trial and as much as possible, who judges them, but not trialing myself, I would vote there. I am not competing in conformation, either, and for the same reasons as for obedience, I would vote for a judge there. I don't follow the other performance trials, nor know the judges at all. Therefore, I would not vote in that area.
